From the moment you arrive you are made to feel very very welcome. Nothing is too much trouble. The place is extremely clean and well cared for. The home cooked breakfasts are something else. Local cuisine made traditionally. Some of the best food I have had. One of the best places I have ever stayed at. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone travelling to Galle.

Saman and his family are amazing, it’s a beautiful place in front of the beach. They are so welcoming, treating us with candor, the room is so clean! The breakfast is delicious and big!! At night you sleep with the noise of the waves, during the day you can relax seeing the sea just in front of your room. The place is just 7’ away by car from the fort and the old city. We totally recommend to stay in this place!!

Indika Beach Villa is a dream. Direct location by the sea, not a tourist spot, which means you can totally relax and enjoy the peace and quiet. Everyone there goes out of their way to make you feel comfortable. The food at Indika is delicious! The stay at Indika Beach Villa is very familiar and a special experience. Indika and his family also live there and are super nice and treat you like family. For example, Indika took us to the fishermen and explained to us how everything works, when we wanted to go to an ATM he took my friend with him on his scooter, he had small fish prepared and we were allowed to eat with him. Indika really does everything for you. We felt very comfortable and would come back at any time.

The family was really frendly. The owner took the time to drive is to the town to bye some srilankan spises and gifts. She made us srilankan tea and really tasty meals. We also took cooking class which was very fun for the whole family. The place is really nice decorated and the best bed. The room was climated and we could use the kitchen. We would come again and they have our recommendation.

I recently had the pleasure of stay here for 2 nights and it was truly relaxing experience. The hosts were a highlight. I especially enjoyed how close it was to the beach and a 40 minute walk to the Galle fort. Long enough walk but lots of it is coast line so I didn’t mind. Overall, I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing and comfortable stay.

    I had an excellent stay at this guest house. Its proximity to a major highway interchange made travel easy, yet the surrounding greenery provided a peaceful and quiet atmosphere. The place was impeccably clean, and the breakfast was both delicious and affordable. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this guest house for its convenience, cleanliness, tasty breakfast, and warm hospitality. I'll definitely return.

    Love this place, relaxed vibe, clean, comfortable rooms, lovely friendly, quietly attentive staff, good food in a fantastic roof terrace restaurant, lovely spaces to hang out. Our host could not have been more accommodating or kind. The location is perfect to catch sunsets and sea breeze and an easy walk to sights, shops & cafes. Monkeys, iguanas, kingfishers and the hilarious crows hanging out too (not in the property!) Everything you'd want of a guesthouse. Highly recommend

    The room was super nice, quiet, and with the air conditioning always comfortably cool. Ravi, the host, takes very good care of his guests and makes you feel very welcome. Breakfast is served on the balcony with a lovely view and includes a wide variety of fresh fruits, tea, toast and so much more. The guest house is perfectly located as it's close to everything you could want and need. All in all we had a wonderful time and can't recommend the guest house enough.
